Saturday at the FFA Camp

Our time at the camp passed much too quickly, and I took far too few pictures. I was too busy being in the moment to pull out my camera. It was cold, windy and damp Saturday morning, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. LOL! After breakfast, we went on a hayride to the petting zoo. Clay was wearing shorts, but that didn't stop him from offering his sweatshirt to Lori. What a guy!

It warmed up in the afternoon, and we took the canoes to the shoals. The canoe that Morgan and I started out with was taking on water, and we had to return to the boat launch site to trade it out. By the time we got there, the water was over the back seat, where I was sitting, and my jeans were soaked. Of course, Morgan thought it was funny. We were able to catch up to everyone else, but I'm feeling all of that extra rowing today!

When everyone else headed to the dining hall for dinner, Morgan and I headed back to Atlanta for the show. We met Joel at the Fox Theater, and Morgan could hardly wait to see him. We really enjoyed "Wicked." It's a cute twist on "The Wizard of Oz," and is very high energy. It was almost midnight when we got home, and we were so happy to sleep in our own beds.

Family Reunion at the Camp

This weekend is our family reunion at the FFA Camp. We look forward to it all year. We all stay in the same cabin, eat in the dining hall, toast marshmallows around the bonfire and canoe to the shoals, where we always pose for our holiday card picture. This year will be different for several reasons.

First, my mother and sister won't be there this year. They are flying to Vietnam today to complete the adoption process of my new niece, Lucie. I can't wait to meet my precious new niece, but it just won't be the same without Mom and Lisa.

Second, it is cold and rainy today, so we'll have to forgo the bonfire tonight. I'm hoping the rain will hold off tomorrow and that it will warm up a little bit, so we can still take the canoes to the shoals. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Third, we aren't going to be able to spend tomorrow night at the camp. I bought theater tickets to see "Wicked" tomorrow night without realizing there was a scheduling conflict. We have been wanting to see the show for over a year, so we made the difficult decision to leave the reunion early. We will just make the most of the time we do spend at the camp!

As always, I waited until the last minute to pack, so I better get busy!

Everybody's Doing It!

Blogging - everybody's doing it, even my technologically challenged sister. I guess it's time for me to join the twenty-first century, too.
